haven't done much...

i haven’t about this goal for a while. i’ve been doing so many other things: reading ‘the tender Bar’, reading a Robert Bly book about freelance writing, learning how to get the most out of twitter and rss feeds, playing with stumbleupon and facebook, and playing a lot of myspace mobsters. on top of all that i’ve recently moved back to columbus from savannah, and i have been unpacking and gradually finding places to put my things. it’s going to take me a long time. i just started a new job, so i might be able to get some drapes for the windows soon. i don’t have a car right now, so it’s more difficult to do any kind of shopping, like that. so, i’ve put this goal on hold for awhile. then, i’ll get back on byki and learn some more kazakh.

How to play soccer twice a week for the next 3 months

"i had a great summer and fall, playing soccer with the guys up at lake mayer. they're awesome soccer players. i suck. i played goalie a lot."

How I did it: i showed up. there were some rainy weeks and nights when i had to work, but i played whenever i could, for about 15 weeks. it was fun. there was nothing hard about it. i looked forward to showing up, so i think the lesson is that if you enjoy what you're doing, then your goal is more likely to get accomplished.

Lessons & tips: find a fun group of people to play with and stick to it. show them that you're as committed as they are, and it will be ongoing. we had about 40 people there on some nights.

Resources: soccer ball, willingness to take a beating, humility

It took me 3 months.

It made me strong like bull

we chatted about sticky post-it note notes, and she started a blog that featured some sticky notes she had left in random places for people to find. it’s been awhile, though…
